SpaceX Starship model
1:100 scale, 21 inches / 53 cm tall.

All 4 "wings" can move.

Snap together, no glue or screws needed to assemble.

Choose between nosecones: imagined with windows or plain.

Tiles have been installed on surfaces.

This is a big print, and it takes a long time to print. I don't recommend scaling it down because the wings may no longer move
Recommended print settings:
PLA
0.2 height
3 shells at minimum to ensure the strength of the assembly tabs.
Supports and brims as needed on individual parts. Please see printing instructions for each part.

The real SpaceX "Starship" is in it's very early design stages, with changes happening with every iteration, and no defined final design at this time.

As the real Starship evolves, this model will be updated to reflect the current state of the craft. Due to the modular nature of the design, only specific sections may need to be reprinted to bring the model up to date.

Assembly instructions:
When putting together the ring assemblies, there are three small bumps that fit in the tabs, To put the ring segments together, join the rings close to their final position, and with a gentle but firm twisting motion, get them to snap together.

Please follow this order:

1) Print "Engine Section", "Engines" and "Retainer" parts.
2) Insert "Engines" in "Ring Assy 1" and secure with "Retainer". Inset the motors facing downward through the TOP of the engine bay, and spin the motor assembly until the pin falls in the matching slot. Add the retaining ring through the top of the engine bay so it clips under the tabs.
5) Print and attach 3 copies of "Midsection". Keep the tiles aligned..
6) Print the two wings, Please see picture of printing layout for orientation. Use a wide 'brim' (25 turns?) to provide adhesion to the tall and narrow wing assembly. Try to orient the print so it moves 'the long way' when your printer table moves, to avoid knocking the print over. When finished, "crack" the wing by gently twisting it so it can move.
7) Attach the wings by carefully and gently sliding the tabs into the corresponding holes. DO NOT FORCE. It is best to install and remove the wing several times to work in the fit than trying to force the wing on and risk breaking off the mounting tabs.
8) Print the "Nosecone". Install the "Nosecone" so that the small wings are inline with the large wings.
